Using This Documentation

This document contains information about how to set up the Enterprise ManagerCloud Control 12c release 2 component of the Oracle Optimized Solution forEnterprise Database Cloud on the SPARC SuperCluster T4-4 from Oracle. Thisdocument is written for system administrators who have advanced experienceconfiguring engineered systems.

Software versions required for this document are:

■ Enterprise Manager Cloud Control version 12.1.0.2.0

■ Oracle Database Plug-in 12.1.0.2.0

Note – The administrative user ’SYSMAN’ is used in this guide only as a way ofsimplifying these instructions. In a full production environment it is assumed thatenterprise manager cloud administrator accounts would be created and used formost of the steps in this guide.

This setup guide is not intended to replace the Enterprise Manager Cloud Controldocumentation, rather it is intended to give a worked example so as to facilitatefirst-time setup of Database as a service on SuperCluster

▼ Prepare the Target Oracle Solaris 11Zones or Logical DomainsDatabase Cloud is implemented directly onto the logical domains of the SPARCSuperCluster (Global Zone) or within Non-Global Oracle Solaris Zones that arecreated on the logical domains.

Much of the preparation work in setting up the hardware was done during initialsystem installation, compared to using a non engineered system. The only step youmust perform is to enable the sudo privileges.

7

For a complete list of requirements for installing the Oracle Cloud ControlManagement Agent, refer to the Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control AdvancedInstallation and Configuration Guide 12c Release 1 (12.1.0.1).

● Update the Sudoers file.

Ensure that Oracle has permission to run the required agent commands inprivileged mode by adding the following to the /etc/sudoers file on the targetzone.

▼ Add Credentials for the OracleSoftware Update CenterThe Oracle Software Update Center hosts bug fixes, software updates and a varietyof add-ons for Oracle products. For DB Cloud, it is most likely that several EnterpriseManager 12c Cloud Control plug-ins will be required to be added to your EnterpriseManager 12c deployment, so this step describes setting up the connection fromEM12c to the update center.

1. From the Select Enterprise Manager Home page, choose Setup → My OracleSupport → Set Credentials.

2. Type your Oracle Support login and password and then click Apply.

▼ Add Virtualizations, Cloud, andChargeback Plug-insTo use database as a service, you must install two additional plug-ins on the OracleManagement Service (OMS): Virtualization and Cloud. Adding the Chargebackplug-in is optional.

# egrep -v "^#|^$" /etc/sudoers

oracle ALL=(root) /usr/bin/id,<agent-installation-base-directory>/agentibd/*/agentdeployroot.sh


1. Confirm you are successfully signed into the Oracle Update Center by settingcredentials.

See “Add Credentials for the Oracle Software Update Center” on page 8.

2. Add the Oracle Virtualization plug-in by choosing Setup → Plug-ins.

3. Expand the Server, Storage and Network folder, and then choose the OracleVirtualization plug-in.

4. From the Deploy On menu, choose Management Servers.

The Deploy Plug in on Management Servers pop-up window is displayed.

5. Select the latest version from the Version menu, type the Repository SYSPassword, and then click Continue.

6. When the prerequisite checks are complete, click Next.

7. After you have backed up your repository and the configuration of themanagement server, select the check the box indicating this task has beencompleted, then click Deploy.

The OMS is unavailable during the upgrade, so the browser interface will alsobecome unavailable.


8. After the OMS restarts, log back in and repeat the procedure for the Cloud, andoptionally for the Chargeback plug-ins.

▼ Install the Cloud Control Agent on theSPARC SuperCluster 1.11. Add support for the SPARC agent to the OMS.

a. To install the Cloud Control agent on the SPARC SuperCluster 1.1, ensurethat the agent for Oracle Solaris on SPARC is installed on the OMS. To checkthis, choose Setup → Extensibility → Self Update.

b. Open the Agent Software folder.

c. Download the SPARC agent if it has not already been downloaded, thenselect it and the click Apply.


2. Create named credentials.

a. Next, create the named credentials for the Oracle user account that is used toinstall the agent. Chose Setup → Security → Named Credentials.

b. Select Create and type credentials.

The credential named “ORACLE” is created here and used as an example in therest of this document.

c. If you have a target to test on, select Test and Save, otherwise select Save. Youcan ignore any warnings about the credentials when you do not have a testtarget, but check them later, when you have a target host available.

Installing the EM12c Agent(s) on theOracle Solaris ZonesNow you can manually deploy the Agent and Database Plug-ins to the Oracle Solariszones on the SPARC SuperCluster. There are two parts to the agent deployment,firstly to install the EM12c Agent to the Hosts (in this case the Oracle Solaris Zones)that EM12c will use for Cloud management and the second part is to use the EM12cGuided Process to add the Agents for the Oracle RAC Clusters that run on theSuperCluster

■ “Add the Oracle Solaris Zones Host Targets” on page 12

■ “Add the Oracle RAC Targets” on page 14


▼ Add the Oracle Solaris Zones Host Targets1. Choose Setup → Add Target → Add Targets Manually.

2. In the Add Targets Manually window, select the Add Host Targets button, andthen click Add Host.

The Add Host Targets wizard is displayed.

a. In the Host and Platform window, add hosts using one of the followingmethods.

Hosts can be added individually by specifying the target name or via a bulkload.

i. To add hosts individually, click Add and specify the host and platformdetails.

ii. To add a batch of hosts, create a simple text file containing the hosts toadd.

Select Load from File, and browse to the location of the text file createdearlier. Then click OK.


The text file of Host targets is uploaded and the EM12c Host targets list ispopulated from this file.

iii. When hosts are added to the list, click Next.

b. In the Installation Details window, enter the following values:

i. Complete the entries for Installation Base Directory and InstanceDirectory.

ii. From the Named Credential menu, choose the unprivileged namedcredential created earlier.

In the example, the ORACLE credential created earlier, is unprivileged.

iii. Fill in the privilege delegation setting and sudo command as shown(/usr/bin/sudo -S -u %RUNAS% %COMMAND%), so that this user canexecute the privileged commands required on the host to deploy the agentsoftware, and click Next.


3. In the Review window, review the details and select Next to begin installing theEM12c Agents

Agent installation now runs on the selected hosts.

If there are any warnings or errors during installation, select Hosts from theTargets menus to list the running agents and diagnose any issues.

The window below shows that the hosts (Oracle Solaris zones) etc18n1 andetc18n2 both have running agents.

Adding the Oracle RAC TargetsThese procedure add details for the RAC and ASM targets that EM12c manages.

■ “Add the Oracle RAC Targets” on page 14

■ “Add the Details of the RAC Cluster” on page 16

▼ Add the Oracle RAC Targets1. Choose Setup → Add Target → Add Targets Manually.

2. In the Add Targets Manually window, click the Add Non-Host Target UsingGuided Process, choose Oracle Cluster and High Availability Service as theTarget Type, and then click Add Using Guided Discovery.


3. Select the magnifying glass icon to find the Oracle Solaris zones that are part ofa RAC cluster. Select the appropriate host and click Continue.

4. Confirm the cluster details. You can change the cluster name if desired. ClickAdd.

A progress window is displayed and then the confirmation window is displayedshowing that the RAC cluster has been added to the EM12c agents running on thehosts that comprise the cluster.

5. Click OK to continue.


▼ Add the Details of the RAC ClusterAfter you add the Oracle RAC targets, follow these step to add details of the RACcluster such as listener, ASM and database instances to the EM12c agent runningon the target hosts/Oracle Solaris zone.

1. Choose Setup → Add Target → Add Targets Manually.

2. From the Add Targets Manually window, select the Add Non-host Target UsingGuided Process, choose Oracle Database, Listener and Automatic StorageManagement as the Target Type, then Click Add Using Guided Discovery.

3. Select the magnifying glass icon to find the Oracle Solaris zone that is part ofthe RAC cluster.

Highlight the appropriate host and click Continue.

4. Specify that EM12c should look for listener, ASM and database targets byclicking on all hosts in cluster and click Continue.

The discovery window is displayed and RAC cluster instances and ASM detailsare shown.

5. If there are databases in the cluster, click the Configure icon in the ClusterDatabases panel.

In the following example two databases instances are discovered by EM12c,however it is possible that there are no databases created on the SPARCSuperCluster T4-4 at this point of the setup and this field would be empty. Theexample assumes that there are databases, so in the cluster databases panel clickthe configure icon.


The Configure Cluster Database : Properties wizard is displayed.

a. In the Credential window, type the dbsnmp password, and then click TestConnection.

The dbsnmp account must be unlocked. Click Next.

b. In the Review window, review the cluster details and click OK.


Notice that the wrench icon on the configure panel for the database instances isnow a solid blue color, indicating that the database targets of the RAC instancesare now successfully configured to be managed and monitored by EM12c.

6. In the Discovering Targets on Cluster window, select the wrench icon for theCluster ASM.

7. In the Configure Cluster ASM : Properties window, type the asmsnmp passwordand click Test Connection.


A confirmation of the successful connection is displayed.

8. When a confirmation of the successful connection appears, click OK.

9. In the Discovering Targets on Cluster window, click Finish.

10. In the Summary window, click Save.

The targets are saved and a confirmation window is displayed.

At this point the EM12c is now able to manage and monitor the RAC cluster andits components. Repeat these steps for each RAC cluster configured on the SPARCSuperCluster T4-4 that the cloud administrator will make available to theDatabase Cloud end-users.


▼ Create an Enterprise Manager CloudAdministrator Role1. Choose Setup → Security → Roles.

2. In the Roles window, select Create.

The Create Roles wizard is displayed.

e. In the Review window, review the details and click Finish.

You can now log in to Cloud Control using the user name and password thatyou supplied here. However, until this user has been given access to a EM12cPaaS zone, they will not be able to perform any provisioning tasks.


▼ Create Database DeploymentProcedure (Single Instance)Database Deployment Procedures are a facility of EM12c that create the requesteddatabase(s) on behalf of the Cloud end user and will automatically return to the enduser a connection string for the database that has been created.

The following example describes creating a deployment procedure for a singleinstance database.

Note – The database service template you create here is not instantiatedimmediately. Instead, it is offered as a service on the database zone that you createnext.


This example demonstrates the creation of an Oracle 11gR2 RAC single instancedatabase, however, the same approach applies to creating deployment procedures forRAC Cluster or RAC One Node.

Note that the database storage for Oracle Database 11gR2 will be on the ExadataStorage Cells of the SPARC SuperCluster. This storage will already be establishedduring SuperCluster installation and further administered and provisioned using theSuperCluster/Exadata Zone tools.

1. Choose Enterprise → Provisioning and Patching → Database Provisioning.

2. Select Create Oracle Database from the Deployment Procedures panel, and thenclick Launch.

The Create Database wizard is displayed.

3. In the Database and Version and Type window, enter the following values:

a. Choose 11.2.0.3.0 from the Version menu, and choose Oracle Single InstanceDatabase from the Select database type options.

This deployment procedure will be available to cloud end users, so click thelock icons next to each selection so that these values can’t be changed by theend users.

b. Add the Host(s) where the database will be created.

i. Click Add Hosts to launch the Search and Select: Targets pop-up window.

ii. Select the Oracle Solaris on SPARC (64-bit) platform and click Search.

iii. Highlight the appropriate host and click Select.

i. Click the magnifying glass icon in the Oracle Home column to launch theSelect Oracle Home pop-up window.

ii. Highlight the appropriate Oracle Home and click Select.

d. Select the Host Credentials column and type the credential name, then clickNext.

The example uses the ORACLE credential created earlier.

e. Confirm entries, then click Next.

This validates the Oracle Home.

4. In the Database Template window, click Select Template From Oracle Home,and click Next.

5. In the Identification and Placement window, enter the following values:

a. Type values for the Global Database Name and SID boxes.

When creating a template, these values are for validation purposes only and arenot actually used. This is because the Global database name and SID arereplaced by EM12c when it creates a unique database instance for the DatabaseCloud end user.

b. Click the lock icon to unlock Database Credentials.

Do not lock the Identification section, because these values are substitutedwhen database as a service is used.


c. Type and confirm the password, and then click Next.

The verification window is displayed, and the Storage Locations window isdisplayed.

6. In the Storage Locations window, enter the following values:

a. Under Storage Type, select Automatic Storage Management (ASM)

b. Under Database Files Location, select Use Common Location for DatabaseFiles.

i. Click the magnifying glass icon next to the Location box to launch theSelect Disk Group pop-up window.

ii. Highlight the appropriate disk group and click Select.

c. Under Recovery Files Location, select Use same storage type as database fileslocation and Use Fast Recovery Area.

i. Click the magnifying glass icon next to the Discovery Area Location box tolaunch the Select Disk Group pop-up window.

ii. Highlight the appropriate disk group and click Select.


d. Confirm entries, and then click Next.

The storage configuration is validated, and a pop-up window displays theprogress of this validation. When the validation has finished successfully, theCreate Database : Initialization Parameters window is displayed.

7. In the Initialization Parameters window, enter the following values:

a. Select Automatic Shared Memory Management, check Specify MemorySettings as Percentage of Available Memory and adjust the slider forPercentage of Available Memory.

Use this memory setting to control the amount of memory available to thedatabase instances the cloud end user creates. The example uses percentage ofavailable memory for ease of demonstration, but you can also uncheck this tolimit each database to a specified amount. For instance, a useful strategy mightbe to create separate deployment procedures for small, medium, and largememory configurations, where the SGA is set to an absolute value and not apercentage of available memory.

b. Configure the Host CPU count and set the other database configurationparameters to suit.

c. Confirm your entries, and then click Next.

A pop-up window indicates verification is run, then the Create Database :Additional Configurations Options window is displayed.

8. In the Additional Configuration Options window, click Next.

9. In the Schedule window, enter the following values.


a. Type a name for the Deployment Procedure Instance Name, and then clickNext.

b. Type a descriptive name for this deployment procedure in the Name box ofthe pop-up window, and then click Save.

c. Then in the next window, and click Cancel as you do not want to instantiatethis procedure now.

The new Deployment Procedure (in our example SI-Small-11gR2-Dedicated) isnow visible in the list of deployment procedures.

2. Choose Middleware and Database Cloud → Create PaaS Infrastructure Zone.


The Create PaaS Infrastructure Zone wizard is displayed.

a. Type a name and description for the zone, and specify the appropriate valuesfor placement policy constraints based on the resources available to themembers.

The following example uses DevTestZone as a name, indicating that databasesfor development and test will be in this zone. In this example, the defaultplacement policy constrains are used, but in a development or test area youmight allow starting of new database instances (placement) on Oracle Solariszones that are more heavily used than 80%.

Click Next to continue. The Create PaaS Infrastructure Zone: Targets page isdisplayed.

b. Next allocate servers (targets) to the PaaS infrastructure zones. In the case ofDatabase Cloud for SPARC SuperCluster, these targets are Oracle Solariszones. Click Add to search for available Oracle Solaris zones on theSuperCluster.


Click on each Oracle Solaris zone you want to add as a target, then click Select.

c. Specify the Named Credentials to be used for provisioning all the targets inthis zone.

Click the + icon to add new named credentials.

The example uses the ORACLE credential created earlier.

Click Next to continue.

d. In the Create PaaS Infrastructure Zone: Roles window, click Add to select theroles that can access this PaaS Infrastructure Zone, and then highlight theappropriate role and click Select.

The example uses the EM_SSA_DEVUSER_IT role created earlier.


e. In the Create PaaS Infrastructure Zone: Review window, review the details andclick Submit to create the zone.

A message confirms that the PaaS Infrastructure Zone was successfully created.You will return to the Middleware and Database Cloud Home page.
